From our years of experience in supplying wedding bands in Cornwall, we've put together some FAQ to help you navigate this part of your wedding planning.
When should we book a wedding band in Cornwall?
As soon as your venue and date are confirmed, it’s a good idea to start looking at bands. Summer weddings in Cornwall are especially busy, and many popular bands get booked up over a year in advance. Booking early gives you more options and helps avoid missing out.
What types of bands can we hire for a Cornwall wedding?
Cornwall has a wide mix of wedding bands. You’ll find acoustic duos, jazz groups, energetic pop and rock bands, folk-style collectives and more.
Can we hire one band for the ceremony and evening?
Yes. Many bands offer flexible packages that include daytime sets and evening performances. If you want a smoother flow throughout the day, you can ask the band if they provide both acoustic and full electric sets.
Do Cornwall wedding bands bring their own equipment?
Yes. Professional bands supply their own PA system, instruments and lighting. If your venue has noise limits or specific acoustic needs, let the band know ahead of time so they can bring the right gear.
How long will the band perform for?
Most bands perform two live sets, each lasting between 45 minutes and one hour. You can sometimes split the sets to cover different parts of the evening. Many bands also offer background playlists during breaks to keep the music going.
Will the band learn a song for us?
Most bands are happy to learn one special song, such as your first dance. Just let them know in advance so they can prepare. If the song doesn’t suit their style, they may suggest playing the recorded version through their sound system.
Can we choose songs from the band’s setlist?
Yes. Bands usually share a list of songs they perform, and you can request songs you’d like included or left out. This helps the band create a setlist that matches your taste and keeps guests dancing.
Will the band play music between sets?
Yes. Most bands offer a playlist or laptop DJ service to cover breaks. Some let you submit your own playlist to use with their system. If you want a more interactive setup, you can also hire a professional DJ.
How much does a Cornwall wedding band cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the band and how far they need to travel. Solo or duo acts may start around £500, while full bands often range from £1,200 to £2,500. Most quotes include performance time, setup and travel.
Is setup included in the fee?
Yes. Bands usually arrive 60 to 90 minutes before showtime to set up and soundcheck. If you need them to set up earlier or work around a tight schedule, just let them know. Some may charge extra for early arrival.
Should we provide food and drinks for the band?
While it’s not required, it’s appreciated. Most couples offer soft drinks and a hot meal, especially if the band is staying through the evening. Your venue can usually provide a simple supplier meal or access to the buffet.
Can a guest perform with the band?
Sometimes. If a friend or family member wants to sing or play with the band, it can usually be arranged ahead of time. Bands are happy to include guests if it fits smoothly into their set.
What if the band cancels?
In rare cases where a cancellation happens, we’ll help you find a replacement as quickly as possible. All bands on our platform are reliable professionals, and we’ll support you in arranging a suitable alternative or refund if needed.
Can the band play outside?
Yes, as long as there’s shelter and a power source. Outdoor weddings are popular in Cornwall during summer, and bands often perform in gardens, tipis or marquees. Just be sure the setup protects their equipment from rain or strong sun.
Reviews from local events in Cornwall
“Wow this band are amazing! So pleased we booked them for our party. Nothing was too much trouble and they played our favourite song especially. The lead singer has a voice that will blow you away.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band. Set list and energy was absolutely amazing. All I have had is positive reviews from everyone who attended the day. Everything ran without a hitch from arrival to set up to the incredible set itself! If anyone is debating getting these guys for your wedding or any event. Just do it!!!”
“Amazing at our wedding. Answered all of our questions leading up to our special day. Highly recommend them! 10 out of 10.”
“Off the Charts were very professional and extremely accommodating when we asked them to perform a couple of new songs in their set not too long before our date. It was exactly what we wanted and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much!”
“Absolutely amazing!! Really helped to make our day and get everyone on the dance floor. Everyone from all ages enjoyed the music and no one wanted the band to stop! Would 100% recommend without hesitation.”
Booked The Moorland Sons for a wedding at Tregenna Castle Resort, Cornwall, UK
“Thanks guys for making our wedding day so incredible on Saturday guys, for me you truly topped off an amazing day. Nic and I will never forget it.”
Booked Fun Times for a wedding at Lusty Glaze Beach, Newquay, Cornwall
“You and the lads absolutely smashed it last night! Thank you so much for that, everybody had a fantastic time, none more so than me and the Mrs! You couldn’t have been more accommodating to us and learning Yellow for us and playing it brilliantly, letting Leanne and her dad have that routine. You really made our night.”
“Tropical Flair played for our wedding in Redruth as a trio and we thought they were wonderful. I particularly loved the 2 vocals and how their voices blended together. Could not recommend enough!”
“Dear Jodie and the rest of the band. Just got home from an amazing time in St Ives and wanted to send you an email to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Wednesday 2nd July at St Ives Harbour Hotel. We just can’t put into words how perfect the day was for us and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.”
“The Cardinals were amazing, absolutely everyone was up on their feet (including the bar staff). They went on far beyond what we had paid for, just because they could see everyone having a great time. So much energy and enthusiasm, getting everyone involved. Loved them. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.”
“The Incognitos delivered an unbelievable service on our wedding day. They were friendly and professional throughout, and their performance on the night was unforgettable. They learned our first dance song and delivered it with quality. They listened to our preferences and created a top notch setlist. They had the whole place rocking (and crowd surfing) all evening - so many people were asking who they were. A band was such an important part of our reception, and we are so happy that we went with The Incognitos - thank you!”
“Hats Off! Miami Nights were absolutely superb! The nicest guys, an epic set list and certainly the first time I have ever seen guests pre-positioning on the dance floor as soon as they saw the band walking towards their instruments! Their rendition of our first dance was an unexpected treat but it couldn’t have gone better. I hope that they had a good time as well and got everything that they needed? All the best.”
